Regis & Kelly's visit huge' for P.E.I.: minister
Published Wednesday July 14th, 2010
Live! with Regis and Kelly wrapped up its broadcasts in Prince Edward Island yesterday, but the province's tourism industry is hoping the hit duo's visit will have a long-lasting impact.
On Monday, after the first show from Charlottetown aired, Prince Edward Island shot into the Top 10 Google searches of the day in the United States, staying there through yesterday.
Tourism and Culture Minister Robert Vessey says the show's visit was huge for his province, both this week and in the long-term.
Vessey says it was well worth the government's $800,000 investment to bring the show to its shores.
